Has anyone tried setting the mesh on the pinion and spur gears as recommended be Jeremy from CEN in a previous thread. In it he states "be sure that the pinion gears are pressed tightly against the spur gears. They should not move freely." If you tried this what were your results? I tried it and I wore out the 1st gear pinion faster than usual. (Only 3 tanks of fuel ). Anyone else have better luck?
Also, what happened to CEN on this board. I haven't seen any activity from them in about a month? Just wondering.
Thanks

Sorry, we have been away racing a lot this past month.
You want to set the pinion tight but not so tight that it grinds. Sounds like to me you have set the pinions (engine) at an angle, be sure when you mesh the gears that the engine is sitting straight and not at an angle. This will cause you to have one pinion correct and the other loose of tight.
When setting the mesh I always check both pinions for correct mesh.
